                                                       My ethnic Identity

                      Half-blood people are a mixture of natives, creoles, and colonizers. They are the strongest

               ethnic  group  in  Ecuador  and  Latin  America.  I’m  proud  of  being  half-blood  and  to  have  the
               opportunity to talk about aspects such as: food, celebrations, and lifestyle.

                      Half-blood’s diet is based on basic products. [Rise and bread are some of the most popular.]
               Also,  [half-blood  people  use  to  eat  meat,  chicken,  and  pork  which  are  accompanied  with  salad.]

               [Fruit juices are the best option for lunch, milk is preferred after dinner, and alcohol is just for special
               events.]

                      Celebrations are an important part of half-blood’s culture. [A big part of half-blood people are

               Catholics.] So, [they use to celebrate Christmas doing mangers and Holly week eating “fanesca”.]
               Moreover, [Death’s day, which is other holyday celebrated by half-blood people, has as typical food

               “colada  morada”  and  “guaguas  de  pan”.]  Furthermore,  [carnivals  are  popular  between  half-blood
               too.] [Colorful clothes, parades, and happiness are carnivals’ characteristics that half-blood people

               enjoy a lot.]
